Romans 2:11
For there is no partiality with God.
This chapter illustrates the Jews who judged and condemned men according to their works and then failed to look at themselves and assess how they lived. Paul said that the Lord does not practice favouritism, it does not matter whether a person is a Jew or a Gentile for as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified (vv 12-13)
Looking at ourselves as proclaimers of faith in Jesus Christ, do we actually practice what we preach and continue to be doers of the law? Or are we like the others who only mean to clean the outside of the cup - those who seem pure outside but remain vile in the heart?
We do not have the right and authority to judge others, only God possesses this right as His judgment is according to the truth against those who sin (v2)
So whether a Jew or a Gentile, in other words, whether one found God at a very early age or accepted Jesus Christ at the prime of his life, it does not matter. It all comes down to the heart, does it seek to glorify Him or does it seek to satisfy the desire of the flesh? We are free to choose how to live but we are well-informed of the reward of a life of honesty and genuinity and the punishment of hypocrisy.
Let us all show the Father that we are His TRUE children. LIVE IN THE TRUTH.
